What is your e-reading device of choice?

I like reading on my Android phone with the Kindle app. It's nice when I'm waiting somewhere.

What are you working on next?

Right now, I'm revising book 3 in the Red Dog Conspiracy, The Ace of Clubs. I'm also working on a side story about Morton's timeline (he's here for a reason, and it might not be what you think), and a book set 30 years after the end of the series featuring two of the people who survive all this. That one will be under a pen name as it's a very different genre.
